Whereupon, the Bill having been read two times by title and copies of the Bill having been made available for public inspection prior to consideration of the Board of Aldermen, Bill No. 89-23 was passed. The new aldermen took their Oath of Office and were sworn in by City Clerk Grace Kemerling. Mayor Betty Burch suggested running the run the sewer bond election on June 6, 1989 if this is possible. The reason for doing this on such short notice has to do with the time necessary to set the election and that the grants will expire after the election and will not be available until next year. A discussion was had concerning putting the sewer bonds on the June 6, 1989 election. It was brought out that the bonds would be for a period of twenty years and that the amount of the bonds would be 1.5 million. The reason the other figures were used on the present election is that the figures had to be given the County Clerk the first part of February, 1989 and that was the figures the City had. Since then more information has become available and thus the present figures. Patrick M. McCole of E. T. Archer was present to answer any questions and City Attorney Don Witt was also present to answer questions. Many people in the audience did ask questions and received answers. It was brought out that the Bonds initially will be for 3.1 million; the City is to contribute 1 million and it anticipates to receive 900,000 dollars in grants which would bring the amount of the bonds to vote on 1.5 million dollars. It appeared that the cost to the citizens of Riverside would be as set out in the prior election. It was also brought out that should the cost of the sewers be less than anticipated, the savings will be given to the citizens. An inquiry was made as to whether or not the rates could be set up now before the election and Attorney Don Witt said that this could not be done., because actually they would not be known until the pro3ect is completed. An inquiry was made concerning bids being made on the sewer project by relatives of the Mayor and Board and if this was legal. Mr. Mitchell Burch said that his company was not going to bid on the project. After all questions were answer and discussions were had, Mayor Burch inquired of the audience who would be in favor of putting the sewer bonds on the June 6, 1989, election ballots. Almost all the people held up their hands. Kuhlman moved to place Bill No. 89-24 on first reading, said Bill calls for a special bond election in the city of Riverside, Missouri on the question whether to issue the sewerage system revenue bonds of the City of r MInutes of Special Meeting April 6 ,1989, Page 3 Riverside, Missouri, in the amount of $1,500,000 for the purpose of constructing additions to and extending and improving the sewerage system in the City; designated the time of holding said election; and authorizing and directing the City Clerk to give notice of said election, seconded by Rule, the vote was as follows: Kuhlman, Karr, Shepard and Rule voted aye; Teters and Richardson voted nay.
